Mounds View City Council June 26, 2023 <br />Regular Meeting Page 10 <br /> <br />C. Public Hearing: Resolution 9771, Approving the Preliminary/Final Plat of <br />Long Lake Cove, and Stormwater Management Permit, 7700 Long Lake <br />Road. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald requested the Council approve the Preliminary/Final <br />Plat of Long Lake Cove, and Stormwater Management Permit for the property at 7700 Long Lake <br />Road. He stated the property has been sold and a developer was proposing to subdivide this <br />property into three separate lots. He noted this project originally came to the Council in August of <br />2022 where six townhomes were proposed. He indicated this project has since been amended to <br />include three single family homes. He reviewed the proposed plat in further detail with the Council <br />and recommended approval of the request. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked if the project would include two new homes and one existing <br />home. Community Development Director Sevald reported this was the case. He commented <br />further on the driveway that would be shared by two of the lots. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause opened the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. <br /> <br />Rene Johnson, 7385 Pleasant View Drive, reported at the end of Pleasant View Drive and County <br />Road I there was a wooded area that was taken down and three homes were to be built. She noted <br />one home has been built and the other two lots remain for sale. She questioned what reassurances <br />the City had that the builder would follow through on the proposed plans once the trees have been <br />removed from this property. Community Development Director Sevald explained the lots near <br />Ms. Johnson’s home had interest, but the price was high. He stated that the City could not put any <br />assurances in place that the lots will be built on by the applicant. <br /> <br />Chris Lillemo, 5132 Long Lake Road, expressed frustration with the fact the City Council had to <br />close the Public Comment portion of the meeting. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause requested Mr. Lillemo keep his comments to the agenda item. <br /> <br />Mr. Lillemo stated he was concerned with the fact Mounds View residents were not able to speak <br />during the Public Comment portion of this meeting. He asked how residents were supposed to be <br />heard. <br /> <br />Hearing no further public input, Acting Mayor Meehlhause closed the public hearing at 8:09 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Lindstrom. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9771, <br />Approving the Preliminary/Final Plat of Long Lake Cove, and Stormwater Management Permit, <br />7700 Long Lake Road. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom asked what the price point would be for the two new homes. Carson <br />Schifsky, the applicant, anticipated the price point would be around $400,000 for the homes. He <br />indicated the existing home would be renovated. He thanked the Council for working with him on <br />this project. <br />
